Chapter 155: Chapter 146: Using Game Items to Deal with Real People
Places like wet markets are sometimes a chaotic hodgepodge of people.
Don’t look down on the vegetable vendors. Maybe one of those uncles is a retired underworld boss.
At a fish stall, a middle-aged man answered a call.
After hanging up, he plunged the fish-gutting knife in his hand directly into a fish’s belly. Then he made another call. "Time to work."
Those three simple words, however, carried a murderous aura, causing the few fish still active in the tank to instinctively freeze.
He then started walking out of the market, simultaneously receiving a photo on his phone.
...
Inside Qingfeng Entertainment City, Lu Feng frowned and ordered Chen Bo, "Investigate all personnel data on this Gao Family. The more detailed, the better."
"Yes, President Lu," Chen Bo immediately replied.
If this had happened before, he definitely wouldn’t have dared to oppose a power like the Gao Family.
After all, he was just a minor figure from the criminal underworld of a small county town. Looking at their methods, they had easily arranged for people to come and shut down their entertainment city for "rectification."
But because of President Lu, they had also gotten to know a figure like Master Kai. With President Lu to back him up, he wasn’t about to just chicken out.
And he knew something else even better: if President Lu took down this Gao Family, then their own people would take their place. A rising tide lifts all boats.
"Come with me." Chen Bo immediately beckoned to a few men and headed outside.
Master Kai had been watching from the side, actually wanting to step in and curry some favor.
But after hearing what President Lu said, he remained silent.
’He probably also understood that President Lu wanted him to witness his power, to flex his muscles.’
’This was likely something any new power had to go through when trying to plant its flag in a new territory.’
There were only two possible outcomes for this kind of situation.
One: a mighty dragon crosses the river, making an example of the local bullies!
Two: a disastrous failure, retreating in utter disgrace.
But he had a feeling the Gao Family was in for some bad luck.
After giving out his orders, Lu Feng also left Qingfeng Entertainment City and headed to Yang Qingxue’s beauty salon.
Under the current circumstances, he didn’t know how the Gao Family would react, so he wanted to bring Yang Qingxue back to the villa district first. It was safer that way.
He felt more at ease after picking up Yang Qingxue and returning to the villa with her by his side.
At the same time, from his villa, he looked at the screen displaying the game world.
In the real world, he had no power in Tianzhou City. The only influential person he knew was Master Kai, and their connection was based on mutual interest.
Therefore, it was impossible to deal with the deeply-rooted Gao Family in Tianzhou City using real-world methods.
He had to use the power of the game world.
In the game world, the five mechanical traps were still operating at high speed. A constant stream of zombies surged forward, only to be sliced into pieces by the traps. The remains were then cleaned up by Zhao Jia—who had just been rewarded with a special Power Crystal Stone—and his team, who fed them into the incineration power facility.
Zhao Jia was now the person in charge here, as Lin Jiao had returned to Qingfeng Base.
As the zombies were killed, experience notifications continuously popped up in Lu Feng’s mind:
[Congratulations on killing a zombie. You have gained 5 EXP!]
[Congratulations on killing a zombie. You have gained 10 EXP!]
...
[Congratulations on killing a zombie. You have gained 10 EXP!]
As time went on, the zombies in the game seemed to be slowly evolving as a whole. The notifications clearly showed more zombies yielding 10 EXP, while those worth 5 EXP were becoming rarer.
The experience on Lu Feng’s character attribute panel was also slowly increasing.
Just then, a zombie that was noticeably faster rushed out.
It was a speed-mutated zombie.
There were many mutated zombies within the horde surrounding Red Leaf Base.
Before this speed-mutated zombie could even get close to the mechanical traps, Chen Lin of the Salvation Army leaped out in his mecha suit. Having consumed a Speed Ability Crystal Stone, he also possessed speed-based abilities.
Although he wasn’t as fast as Lu Feng, when combined with his mecha, dealing with a speed zombie was still a piece of cake.
A moment later, the speed zombie was annihilated by several laser blasts and collapsed.
Chen Lin walked over, dug into the speed zombie’s head, and pulled out the Source Crystal inside with a smile on his face. He then used an energy storage device to absorb the energy value from it.
For him, this was clearly a very lucrative mission.
Of the Source Crystals obtained from killing mutated zombies, he could keep a good portion for himself after submitting the required amount to the base.
Naturally, Lu Feng had approved of this.
After all, if you want the horse to run, you have to let it graze. Extra rewards were always a great motivator.
「In the real world.」
Master Kai also left Qingfeng Entertainment City with his personal bodyguard, Chu Chen, and returned home.
As soon as he entered the hall and sat down, Master Kai instructed Chu Chen, "Chu Chen, keep an eye on this matter for the next few days. I’ve always been very curious about President Lu’s true power. With this Goldman Sachs character popping up, it’s the perfect chance to satisfy my curiosity. I just wonder if Gao Qiang knows about this."
Chu Chen immediately said, "Gao Qiang probably doesn’t know. He’s busy with that big project and has no time for this nonsense. It’s usually only Goldman Sachs who stirs up this kind of trouble. If it weren’t for his capable older brother, that guy would’ve died a violent death on the streets long ago."
"Mm," Master Kai nodded. "Keep an eye on it. Let me know the moment you have an update!"
...
「Time passed.」
「The next day arrived quickly.」
Lu Feng received a message from Chen Bo. He had more or less finished investigating the personnel situation of the Gao Family.
